Cookes Furniture

This is a family-​run business of long community standing in north Birmingham.
Because of it, you’ll get service to match but you may, it has to be said, raise an eyebrow at the prices.
On the one hand, as has been pointed out elswhere, this isn’t your flat-​packed kit from catalogue stores, nor does it have the warehouse feel of vendors all over your TV on boxing day. And it is, of course, an independent. But with the arrival of, for instance, the modern and huge Dwell store at Erdington’s Fort Dunlop complex, you may wish to shop around when in this neck of the woods. As the whippersnappers remark these days: just saying.
As if to give Ikea a run for its money, there is now a restaurant on site called Two Jays, serving light refreshments and lunch six days a week. Come for a side table, stay for a sandwich.

My family and I have been coming here for years for various items of furniture such as wardrobes, chests of drawers, beds, dressers and dining room furniture. The reason is simply that they sell good quality furniture that last for years and the staff are extremely courteous and helpful.
Cookes is a family run business that has been around for years and they are now one of the largest independent furniture retailers in the UK, selling brands such as Ercol, Tempur and Natuzzi.
Yes you have to pay more than you would for flat pack goods from Argos and the designs may not be as fashionable as say Ikea but if you’re after traditional furniture that won’t go out of fashion then head down to Goosemoor Lane. They have a huge selection spread over two floors and the furniture is displayed in room settings to help you imagine how it will look in your own home. If you’re a regular customer or are making a huge purchase it’s worth asking if there are any deals to be done.
If you fancy a drink or something to eat after browsing then head to the top floor to Two Jays’ Restaurant. They offer both hot and cold dishes which are produced daily, fresh from the kitchen. I can recommend the apple pie!

I’ve been using Cookes Furniture store for years, most of the furniture in my place is bought from there. I’ve always found the quality to be superb and the team of staff always helpful and friendly. Leather sofas, fabric sofas, occasional furniture, dining room furniture, beds and bedroom furniture all displayed in fantastic room setting at the large store in Erdington which makes the job of making your mind up a whole lot easier.

A great place if you’re looking for any large furniture item. Its not cheap here but you definitely get what you pay for (we’re certainly not talking ikea). The best thing about this place is you can find things you don’t see anywhere else. You can find more traditional items alongside the ultra modern stuff. The biggest suprise is the collection of art work… I fell in love with a few pieces… Just need to save up the money for it now!

This huge store is run by a family with family values. You will find all the leading brands of furniture in room settings, from sofas, dining, leather, occasional, modern, beds, accessories and carpeting. They also have a fabulous café that is worth visiting for that reason alone. You can even negotiate a bit of a deal if your lucky! If you cant find what you are looking for here, you would be very unlucky.
